Just in case anybody ever looks in the archives: antonia@antonia-HP-2133 ~ $ uname -a Linux antonia-HP-2133 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:08 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux > I recently >> downloaded and installed Python 3.3.

I just reinstalled Python 3.2 via the package manager, and it everything is working again --THANK YOU ALL! antonia@antonia-HP-2133 ~ $ which python3.3 /usr/local/bin/python3.3 antonia@antonia-HP-2133 ~ $ which python3.2 /usr/bin/python3.2 Are the Python-3 versions considered to be too different that apt-get update does not replace e.g. 3.2 with 3.3? Or is that also related to the Debian-specific patches, which may cause the Debian-specific release to be (much) behind with the "generic" Python release? > http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python3.3/python3.3_3.3.2-5.diff.gz > > The "command-not-found" script uses 3.x on Ubuntu/Mint: > > http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/command-not-found > > It's 2.x on Debian, but thankfully it isn't part of the default install. > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
